Pros

Review Assistant does everything that I was hoping the default Visual Studio reviews would do. The iterations through accept/reject were the key winner.
The functionality for code reviews is great, especially the ability to comment on specific lines of code.
You don't have to leave the IDE.

Cons

Integration with JIRA is missing.
Ability to search, filter and order comments.
There is no support for Visual Studio Code.

Return on Investment

The tool saves a huge amount of time while reviewing the code. Review Assistant supports threaded comments, so team members can discuss code without scheduled meetings.
